Postscript.

Since placing the foregoing Letter in the printer's hands, I have received the printed Report of the Proceedings of the Sixth General Synod, which recently sat in Wellington. It contains the text of a Resolution adopted by the Synod with reference to your Lordship's claims, and the Report of the Select Committee appointed to draw up a statement of the grounds upon which the General Synod acted in reference to the Bishopric of Dunedin. These documents, which may be regarded as the ultimatum of the Church of New Zealand in reference to this painful controversy, will be found to be in exact accordance with the statements made, and the position taken up, in the foregoing Letter. I take the opportunity of printing them as an Appendix.
